Forty young professionals under the age of forty have been selected by a special committee of the Young Professional Initiative to be honored with the 40 Under 40 award at the seventh annual Northwest Louisiana Young Professionals Gala presented by CityLife magazine on Friday, December 13 at Horseshoe Casino’s Riverdome.

From the list of 40 Under 40 honorees, one will be named the 2013 Young Professional of the Year. This special announcement will be made at the Gala.

“It is great to see so many outstanding young professionals working throughout our community,” said Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce’s Chairman of the Board Murray Viser. “The judges always have a difficult time narrowing the list to only 40 to be honored each year. It is our privilege to celebrate the accomplishments of these young professionals.”
